How does Reverse 500 work?
Reverse Cap Weighting is a unique way to provide exposure to the companies in S&P 500.

Market-cap weighting results in a top-heavy portfolio. The reverse approach on the S&P 500 does the opposite, weighting companies by the inverse of their relative market cap. This provides exposure to hidden gems within the S&P 500.

This also happened in August 1992, March 2000 and February 2009. Could this be another sign that the US equity market is trending away from its concentrated focus
The Reverse 500 can be used as a tactical position to help diversify your existing concentrated equity exposure.
The Reverse 500 approach over the long run helps find value within the smaller companies within the S&P 500. This focused methodology make the Reverse 500 an ideal core position.
